What If Earth Collided With Every Planet?

from What If: Science, Theory, and Possibilities · host What If

Every planet in the solar system is hurtling toward Earth for an epic collision. In this special planetary battle royale, we use Space Sim to simulate six increasingly destructive cosmic crashes to see the physics behind the destruction. From being swallowed by gas giants to the formation of a brand-new magma world, we explore if anything, or anyone, could possibly survive. Have a collision idea? Tell us in the comments what you want to see us smash together next! Follow us on social media for updates and more exciting simulations. 00:00: Introduction: Six Destructive Collisions00:58: Earth vs. Jupiter: Swallowed Whole09:13: Earth vs. Mars: The Head-On Collision15:43: Earth vs. Mars: The Orbital Dance & Second Moon21:24: High-Speed Impact: 40 km/s 'Worst-Case Scenario'25:45: Earth vs. Uranus: Impacting the Tilted Ice Giant35:40: The Moon vs. Earth: Destruction of Human Life43:05: Earth vs. Saturn: Journey Through the 280,000 km Rings50:55: Solar System Battle Royale: Every Planet at Once59:54: Suggest the Next Cosmic Crash! #cosmos #spacesim #collision #Earth #planetarycollision #simulation #solarsystem #cosmicdestruction See show notes: https://inlet.fm/what-if-science-theories-possibilities/episodes/69d5c54771490aa576a6ad57 Learn more about your ad choices.
